This week the Year 11 Deacons and Year 12 students were badged at a Secondary Chapel service.
The Deacons are trained in Peer Mediation– a conflict resolution strategy by which students are actively involved in resolving their own disputes.
Aside to the weekly homeroom mentoring the Deacons operate in pairs during most lunchtimes, seeking out students who require assistance in some way, and helping to set a tone of inclusion and operating as a role model for younger students at the College. The Deacons wear yellow vests to help students identify them in times of trouble.
